1. Anna was selected as "Star Student" of the week last week. She was so excited and we were so proud of her. Jeff rewarded her by taking her to Books-A-Million where she chose some new books.
2. We received a letter today from the school asking our permission to evaluate/test Rachel for the Gifted Program. According to the state website,
When students demonstrate a high level of creativity, intellect, motivation and a capacity to excel in certain subject areas, they're given the opportunity to participate in the state’s Gifted Student program. The eligibility criteria are determined in four areas: achievement, creativity, mental ability and motivation. A student is usually nominated by a classroom teacher, but others who recognize the student’s intellect can nominate him or her for consideration as well.
More information on the program can be found at the Georgia Department of Education website.
We elected to allow the school to evaluate her. Of course, we are proud of her already. It'll be interesting to hear the results of the assessment though and hear her thoughts on it.
